Tetsubins are traditionally used in chanoyu for bon temae, unglazed tetsubin, and the ones that are not urushi treated can be used to boil water for tea, although in senchado small white clay pots called bofura are used over clay stoves called ryoro, if you use a good tetsubin as a tea kettle, it sweetens the water, Banko clay kyusu with a tetsubin make sencha sweeter.

[@Malthan]

Exactly, I found it really weird how there was no mention in the video about what tetsubin is actually meant to be used for (before teashops, especially in the west, started pushing glazed tetsubins on people for use as an expensive teapot).

[@karamcsand]

Why/how tetsubin makes water sweeter? Is it true for a glazed tetsubin?

[@Rob.Martin]

The cast iron tetsubin is not a teapot; this is not explained in the video. The tetsubin is a kettle to heat the water. Tannins in the tea that has been brewed in a tetsubin will react with the iron turning the tea black. A true tetsubin is not enamelled. Most cast iron japanese 'teapots' are cheap, Chinese copies and have been enamelled to prevent the tea from reacting with the iron. Better stick with clay teapots. Even a budget glazed teapot is better than a cast iron enamelled tetsubin.

So, it seems i've been brewing my green tea all wrong for years (alas, i have a cast iron tetsubin). I mostly drink Tamaryokucha, Sencha (different cultivars), occasionally Gyokuro. I've known it all along that the leaves are supposed to move around, and yet somehow i've never brought myself to do the switch to a clay teapot. But i definitely need some sort of teapot with a built-in strainer. Thoughts?

Definietly try to get a tokoname clay kyusu, or a shiboridashi. I find brewing in clay to be the most enjoyable, although I also use a glass gaiwan a lot because it lets me observe the leaves through the whole steep.

[@jordankapeliela]

If you are going to tell people not to use the Tetsubin, atleast own or use a GENUINE one. The one you have is mass produced outside of tradition and will ruin the tea. Traditional Tetsubin will be heat treated to form a thin layer that protects it from rusting, and to enhance the taste of the water when you heat it. The traditionally made Tetsubin actually has properties in the iron that helps remove chlorene as well. But it's okay if you disagree, I'm just the one who is japanese here. 🤷‍♂

Surely you're not advocating the brewing of tea in a traditionally made tetsubin, right? You're only advocating the use of an unglazed tetsubin for heating the water used to make the tea, aye?

A technique comment - for the pour you should not be doing one big tip and pour. You should pour and rock the kyusu back and forth about 3 times in smaller pours. The person demonstrating the pours in the video you can see all the leaves on the bottom during the pour. (Well the lid should not be taken off either) Not what you want. The leaves should wind up against the side of the inside of the pot for best extraction. At timestamp 7:30 you will see a sped up version of someone doing a good pour.

Lol you absolutely can. It just may not be the most efficient way. Like a black tea you probably don't want 5 grams of leaves as it will just be wildly bitter. So you'd do 1 gram of leaves and a cup of water, wait 5-6 minutes and it's ready, you gon do that each time for black tea haha? It's also like drinking high quality Japanese green tea, is more like get the best tools to create that perfect cup, whereas a good ol English black tea isn't of the same vein.

Personally, I love my cast-iron teapot, and I have had no problem getting a good strong brew from it. Then again, I use it to make herbal blends, not traditional Japanese tea, and it keeps the brew hot for a long time. I love mine, and I’d like a bigger one. Also, I boil the water in a regular kettle, and then pour the boiling water over the tea in the pot, and set it on a warm place on the stove, not a burner that’s on, but a burner that still has a little bit of heat, this allows the tea to simmer a little bit, and not over brew. If you can smell it, it’s done.

Tetsubin are for boiling water only, no? Tokoname kyusu are beautiful.

When you want to boil WATER in it, it’s called a tea KETTLE. Cast iron inside, to flavor the water in a very specific, subtle way. When you want to brew TEA in it, it’s called a tea POT. Ceramic inside, so the tea leaves dominate. Using tea leaves to steep inside a cast iron KETTLE will ruin the KETTLE, which if made by hand is very expensive! _so don’t do that!_ People really need to be specific in their titles so others won’t be confused'

I think traditionally tetsubins are used as kettles, not as teapots. The ones that are glazed and come with strainers are pretty cringe imho.

[@PG-ml5rf]

Agree with you, tetsubins are cast iron kettles without any enamel inside. It’s purely for boiling the water. “Softens” the water and is never used for brewing. The teapot used in this video is likely a cast iron with enamel coating inside, which is used to brew the tea - so it’s not really a tetsubin kettle at all. The tea pot shown in the video has been popularised in the West. Iwachu also make some but it’s not really a Japanese method of brewing tea. Iwachu is more known for their cast iron tetsubin/ kettles. Mostly Western brands sell this enamel-lined cast iron teapot in a misguided way to cash in on “oriental” design whilst missing the point and origin completely. So it’s doubly odd that this channel that purports to have knowledge of East Asian tea does nothing to correct this Western misconception.

A lot of hyperbole and snobbery to sell expensive gear without much proof of actual benefit or effect. I bet i could brew in a cast iron teapot and stick the same amount of tea in a teabag and you would not be able to tell the difference as it is the tea, the water and the brewing/serving temperature and time that actually matters. Ceremony and tradition is all fine and good but it is just that.

Brilliant video. It made me laugh out loud several times. It's cool to be passionate about something, but this is a bit over the top for an average Japanese family. Sure tea connoisseurs exist, and I suppose that is your market, but you should know that most people here just brew whatever tea they have, in whatever teapot they have on hand.....my mother in law likes using a glass western style teapot. Most people just brew tea to, you know, have a drink, and the minutia of how gracefully the tea is poured is really not a factor. Still, fair play to you. If you were just selling tea, and teapots without attaching a lot of mystique, and culture, I'm sure you'd only be able to ask for half as much per pack. I don't blame you at all. I'm sure you're much richer than me. Except for Mijirushi about 10 years ago (which I'm sure is the "wrong" place to buy a teapot) I've never seen a Yokode Kyusu, with the handle suitable for left handed use. I promise you it is far from graceful when I use one, compared with using a top handle.

[@Nioteas]

yes thank you for your feedback, you are right on a lot of these points. When we go to Japan we tend to meet with mostly the people that work in the industry - certified tea masters, owners of tea shops and tea farmers so of course their view is biased. It was not my intention of claiming that "most Japanese families do this" but I can see how it could be misconstrued as such. We are mostly making content explaining the customs of Japanese tea connoisseurs to American and European tea connoisseurs if that makes sense. And yes, it can be tough to find a left handed kyusu teapot, hopefully we can offer one someday!
